Bradshaw Survives; Shack-Harris Cannot

Level 17

Ryutaro Suzuki completed, Harry Thomas called, Phil Ivey called, and Andrew Bradshaw committed his final 6,000 after already putting in 5,000 for the bring-in.

Andrew Bradshaw: XxXx / 33J10 / Xx All in
Phil Ivey: XxXx / 784Q / Xx
Ryutaro Suzuki: XxXx / 62J8 / Xx
Harry Thomas: XxXx / 6K - folded on fourth street

On the side pot, Suzuki bet on fourth and only Ivey called, while Thomas folded.

Suzuki check-called on fifth and he then led on sixth. Seventh checked through. Suzuki tabled A32 for a pair of twos with an eight low, while Ivey had A75 for a lone pair of sevens, which was enough for half the side. Bradshaw needed to improve upon his threes showing to stay alive. He first flipped over the 9, but then he found the 10, making two pair to secure the high for the main pot.

However, at another table on the same hand, Brandon Shack-Harris found himself all-in and at risk.

He and Jose Paz-Gutierrez were tangled in a pot in which Shack-Harris got the rest of his stack in the middle on sixth street. Shack-Harris had a pair of fives with a wheel gutter, while Paz-Gutierrez had a flush draw with a seven low draw.

Shack-Harris caught an ace to make aces-up, but Paz-Gutierrez made his flush and low to eliminate Shack-Harris two from the money.

The field is now on the stone bubble.

Level 17
Andrey Zhigalov
Andrey Zhigalov

Action picked up on fifth street as Michael Moncek and Andrey Zhigalov were heads-up.

Michael Moncek: XxXx / 3A4J / Xx
Andrey Zhigalov: XxXx / 3264 / Xx

Moncek opted to check-call on fifth with the ace showing, and he did the same on sixth after catching the jack, with Zhigalov's board getting increasingly dangerous.

On seventh, Zhigalov put out a final bet, and Moncek reluctantly called.

"Wheel," Zhigalov announced, flipping over the A5 followed by the J, and he also held the straight to the six for good measure as he scooped Moncek.

Shortly after the hand, Philip Sternheimer was eliminated, bringing the field to its final four tables with 32 left.

Level 16
Qinghai Pan
Qinghai Pan

Matt Grapenthien limped, Qinghai Pan completed, Nicolas Milgrom raised, Grapenthien called, Pan made it three bets, Milgrom four-bet, Grapenthien called, and Pan was all-in yet again.

Qinghai Pan: XxXx / Q10J10 / Xx All in
Matt Grapenthien: XxXx / 4574 / Xx
Nicolas Milgrom: XxXx / A5A9 / Xx

On the side pot, Milgrom led on fourth and Grapenthien called.

Milgrom made open aces on fifth but he check-called a bet from Grapenthien. Milgrom would check-call two more bets on sixth and seventh.

Grapenthien revealed 322 in the hole for a straight six and six low, while Milgrom had A64 for trip aces as Grapenthien scooped a substantial side pot. However, Pan would then table QQ5 in the hole, and he made a full house to get half of the main pot to survive again.

Tablemate Chris Brewer joked that Pan has been at risk "at least eleven times" without being eliminated.
